I specified 16 (same as my /etc/XF86Config). Whether
it actually came up in 16bit or 8bit color, I don't know.
256 colors is plenty for me. Apparently Sindi wants more
than that.

Perhaps. From what limited info there is about Xvesa,
some things can be left out when you compile it (to make
it smaller/faster).

It is always possible that a particular piece of hardware
will produce an unusual result (especially when you
mix'n'match components). However, I assume that Sindi
is trying Xvesa on several of her machines?

Cheers,
